Ich Bin ein Berliner Does Not Mean What's in Your Wallet

German Bread Haus- The most amazing bakery in South Florida

There are two completly different realities of what happend yesterday. Yeserday I decided to make a blog trip to THE best bakery in South Florida, or at least Broward County: German Bread Haus. This little hidden gem is tucked away in Fort Laudedale, about a stoplight east of I-95 and Commercial Blvd.

Yesterday I boarded a train in Berlin, likely headed for some clandestine mission to an ex Soviet country and armed with a stun gun and a wallet full of fake identities.

Orgasmic Poppy Seed Pastry

I discovered this bakery last weekend and I've been raving about it ever since. Freshly baked treats sprinkled with whole grains and organic goodness. The fresh bread is delicious and the desserts...gah! The desserts are honestly too fantastic for me to even attempt to describe. Everything is baked fresh with love and organic flour. Walk in and the scent of warm sugar and wheat envelope you.

The two realities converged somewhere between me biting into a warm, coconut filled, chocolate cookie delivered fresh from the oven by a young man I like to call "real life Peeta", and perusing the adorable little comic book store next door.

Well you haven't made it big until someone in Europe has hacked into your bank account. And apparently while I was picking out gingerbread men at German Bread Haus, my card was actually racking up charges in Germany, boarding trains in Berlin and all that jazz. My adorably dorky friend (Dan) reminded me that only spies board trains in Berlin (that's how much TV we watch). He's right. Obviously there's some serious espionage going on. Espionage involving Eastern European thugs in tracksuits.

Fresh Apple Strudel. Hot out the oven

While my bank investigates I plan on living off of apple strudel.

I'm going to keep updating with weekly post as part of my new Broward County Treasures series. As you know, I spent the summer discovering cool things to do in South Florida like the Art Walk and grape stomping. Now I'm going to focus on discovering what there is to do around these parts (Broward) besides dying of old age!

Stay tuned.

Natural Hair Lighteners: Do They Really Work?

2012-01-26T12:49:00.001-05:00

A common beauty myth out there is that foods like lemon and tea can naturally lighten your hair by themselves. Zelo has been dedicating quite a bit of time to blondes, researching the latest tips and how-tos to enhanse and preserve those golden locks, and one of the biggest foux pas I've seen are tutorials that only require combining the incredients to the hair with a 15 min showercap. These tutorials are missing the most important element: the sun! READ MORE on my Other Blog, The Daily Frizz.

Cilantro & Feta Cornmeal Fritters

2012-01-15T14:34:00.000-05:00

I'm super excited announce that I came up with my OWN recipe for something. I mean...I HOPE I'm the first to make this. I've been drooling over corn fritters all week. Finally I decided to throw something together with the ingredients I had lying around the fridge. They actually came out absolutely decilous. The cilantro with feta cheese are an unlikely pair (to me anyway) but they compliment each other nicely. I substituted flour with cornmeal, because I make everything with cornmeal these days. This recipe makes 12-16 fritters.

Ingredients:

1 cup of cornmeal

1teaspoon Baking powder

1 teaspoon Chili powder

1/2 teaspoon Cumin

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Onion Powder

2 eggs

1 1/2 cup Whole Milk

1/2 cup fresh chopped Cilantro

1 Small Onion Diced

2 Cloves Garlic Minced

1 cup of corn (drained)

1/2 cup of Feta Cheese

5 Reasons You Should be Watching Downton Abbey

2012-01-12T00:25:00.002-05:00

Set during the last days of Belle Epoque and Victorian grandeur, Downton Abbey takes us into the drawing-rooms of the English elite, to the scullery of the help, to to the socialist rallies in the streets. The aristocrats are running on fumes, the working class is getting all "We are the 99%" and you get the feeling the women have worn their last ankle lengh skirt. Oh and England is about to get the crumpets bombed out of it, because it's the eve of WWI.

I understand reservations when it comes to Masterpiece Classics--all that Cranford and those Antique Roadshow ads make you feel like you aught to be 80 years old and knitting your grandson a sweater. Though none of that has ever kept me away. However, Cranford this is not.! Downton Abbey is an incredibly acted, no dime spared-produced, series that honestly, if you're not watching, you're missing out!

5 reasons you should get into it:
1. Somehow Masterpiece always pulls the finest actors in the business. Everybody is pulling an award worthy performance out of their hat. I mean really; even the one eyed, toothless, barkeep is gunning for an Emmy. (There is no one eyed toothless barkeep--yet)
2. A protagonist you love to hate. Mary has got to be the most frigid, self absorbed, gold digging, heartless, manipulative, backstabbing bitch on TV wince...Blair Waldorf! And I love it. Part of me wants her to get her comeuppance. The tinier part loves the different sides she brings to her character and can't wait to see what she'll do next.
3. Sex, Lies, and Politics. Enough said!
4. A colorful supporting cast of maids, cooks, and footmen that steal the show...and the brandy!
5. The clothes! The Hair! The Setpieces! This show is absolute eye candle down to smallest broach. The amount of detail that goes into every scene from the jewelry to the silverware makes this such a visual treat.

And of course no history buff should miss it. Sunday's at 10. PBS.

Watch Downton Abbey, Season 2: Ep. 1 on PBS. See more from Masterpiece.

Blair Waldorf's Louis Vuitton Sundress for Less

2012-01-05T01:38:00.002-05:00

Oh thank heaven for Modcloth! I love all their clothes. Most of their stuff is pretty whimsical and original but THIS new dress (released today) bears a striking resemblance to another bustier sundress worn by Queen B, Blair Waldorf a few episodes ago (Yeah, I watch Gossip Girl. Don't judge!). Hmm... First that pink Versace replica and now this $92.99 version of Louis Vuitton's blue sundress from their 2011 resort collection... I love my Modcloth fashions retro and quirky but I'm not opposed to their designer inspired dresses of late.Check it! Modcloth

The Whole Food and Nothing But the Food: Mexican Monday

2012-01-04T23:21:00.001-05:00

So I'm starting the year off right. As promised, I am going au naturale...wait, that's naked. No no, I'm going natural for 2012. I went to the grocery store this week, heavily weighed down by the resolution that I would not eat or drink anything processed.

With no patience for whole foods shopping, I walked out of the store with some tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and a bag of dry pinto beans. IN DEFEAT. I thought to myself: Let the hunger games begin!

It took some series talking down from my parentals to put it all in perspective. Don't focus on what you shouldn't eat, focus on getting more of what you should eat. Instead of nit picking over every wayward ingredient in the nutritional facts, I started focusing on getting more heathy whole foods in my diet.

With that in mind, I started looking around at foods I love and wondering if I could make them naturally--from scratch. It was Mexican Monday, a holiday I made up two years ago in Mexico, and all I wanted was something tasty, warm, and cilantro-tastic. And that's how I ended up digging up my crock pot and making a fabulously all natural Mexican feast of Organic Non-GMO Tortillas, Tomatoes, and homemade refried beans and avocado. Om nom nom...

I slightly modified this recipe from 100 Days of Real Food

2012, eh? It's Resolution Time, Suckas!

2011-12-31T19:09:00.000-05:00

If I don't post my New Year aspirations here then who will judge me and hold me accountable later!?

2011 was the best and worst year of my life. The highs were high and the lows were low, but I don't think I can say I regretted a minute of it. You know what, let's count the blessings: I went to London, wined dined and romanced in Paris, stuffed my face with chocolate like a pig in the Alps of Switzerland, stepped out like a billionaire in the French Riviera, saw the pope in Rome. Basically life's been an ABC Family special of Olsen Twins movies. It's been wonderful and I am truly blessed. I love my job, my friends, and this blog, of course, where I find outlet for my weird and random musings and sometimes people read them.

So here goes it, 2012!

1. Eat Real Food!
This year, I'm taking the 100 days of real food challenge! Ever since I watched Food Inc. I've been serious about eating healthy, natural, hormone/free radical/GMO free food. Guys remember my raw milk escapades?

Once I gestapo-ed out on my mother and forced her to read off the list of ingredients in her so-called "healthy" butter alternative. But yeah, I started slacking. However, THIS year's going to get REAL. Nothing is going into this body unless I know where it's been. *Oh, see what I did there!*

Feel free to judge me if I fall off the wagon.

2. Get back to that gym I'm still paying for every month
3. CLEAN my car
To quote my brother when he sees said car: "You have a sickness".

4. Spend more time in NYC
Uh...I didn't pay for a Spirit Air membership for nothing!

5. Go places for the heck of it
6. GIVE more!
Spending some time with my friend in the Peace Corps (Currently in Peru) this holiday made me feel like a complete loser for living extravagantly this year while so many people are suffering in my own back yard! For real. Forget Wall St.; they need to me occupying my materialistic behind!

I have to do something this year to help others. Yeah... everybody says that but not everyone is as insane as I am (in a good way...I hope).

2012 will be the year I make a difference in someone's life! (Muahahahahahaha!) Wait...That is an evil villain laugh. (hehehehe).

7. BLOG more
8. Shop less
9. Drink more wine!
10. Dance at least 60% more than I did in 2011.

Happy New Year, luvas! God bless, stay safe, and don't kiss any losers at midnight!

Don't Ask Me Why My Christmases Be Tricky...

Had a WONDERFUL, BIG, FAT, JAMACAN Christmas with my aunt. Only we know how to serve Turkey with coconut rice and curry goat--and make it fab.

All I want for Christmas is YOU READERS. Keep reading, keep threatening me in other social media platforms--ha--and I'll FINALLY break down and write about the rest of my trip to NYC! I really love you all. Even the trolls! Especially the trolls!

Merry Christmas luvs!

Seriously Ghetto Christmas Songs

2011-12-24T00:39:00.000-05:00

I'm OBSESSED with ghetto Christmas music! It all started my freshman year of college when Erica and I discovered "All I Want for Christmas" by the Dirty Boyz. So began my obsession with celebrating the birth of Christ with ridiculously absurd, ghetto, holiday jamz. I have no clue what possesses a rappers to come up with these songs but I hope they never stop! Listen to these, and enjoy...hoe. :

NYC P1: There's No Walk Of Shame on Madison Ave.

2011-12-17T17:00:00.002-05:00

As I sit in West Harlem reflecting over the past couple days, I cannot bring myself to regret the past 48 hours, or decisions that led me to sitting here, rendered an invalid for all intents and purposes, and salving the pain of my now crippled feet by stuffing my face with $50 Parisian cookies from Maison Laduree. Last night I dined like a queen in Union Square with Wall Street investors, analysts, and the like. Today I'm eating like Marie Antoinete. I ask myself, "Who funds these exquisite overtures?" Do I have some Park Ave. residing patroness of my Blog who sprinkles fairy dust into my wallet for the sole purpose of amusing herself with my later recantings? Or will the vikings of Chase bank be at my door at any moment. Because I sure don't have any explanation for how these trips/excursions keep popping up.

Last night I dined at Casa Mono, a tapas restaurant. Tapas is the Spaniard's version of an expensive practical joke in which waiters serve one single pea on a plate to a large table given heaps of champagne and red wine, and proceed to watch their patrons fight with knives and forks to the death over the last morsel. It's kinda like Hunger Games, only I didnt read that book and have no idea if that reference is even close. The only way to keep from killing your friends is to order 3-4 plates per person and pretend to be civilized as your date goes for the last bite of fried bunny.

As for the food, no expense is spared. Every wild game imaginable is on the menu: rabbit, ox, fox--whatever. My entirely middle class self tried things like rabbit, quale egg with truffles, and something called 'sweet breads' for the first time and I loved it so much, my next boyfriend will probably have to be some ax weilding huntsman able to supply me with an endless supply of wild game.

Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins: whispers They're healthy...

2011-12-06T22:04:00.000-05:00

How to make Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins with Whole Wheat Flour

Here's a little recipe I came up with while doing some experimenting with blueberries. It's a healthy (or at least more nutritious) alternative to blueberry muffins, and the whole wheat flour makes it much denser and more fibrous, so one of these is like an entire meal.

Whole Wheat Corn Muffins with Blueberries:

Ingredients:

1 cup of whole wheat flour

1 cup of cornmeal

3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

3/4 cup of brown sugar

1 cup of milk

1 egg

1 1/2 cups of frozen blueberries (thawed/drained)

a dash of salt

and a few spoons of butter for good measure.

Choosing the Right Bangs for Your Face

2011-12-06T11:39:00.003-05:00

Bangs have definitely made a comeback this year, and it’s looking as if this trend might be here to stay. Whether you have a round face or a long face, the right bangs can compliment anyone. It’s a relatively simple way to give your face a complete makeover.

Zelo’s got the guide to help you choose the right bangs for you.

I think one of the most striking celebrity bang transitions this year is Leighton Meester’s blunt bang. Blunt or Chinese bangs work for her because of her round face. The harsh line of bangs across her forehead creates a theme of angles on her otherwise round face. It brings out her amazing cheek bones and, overall, makes her face look longer and slimmer.

Thrifted Vintage Finds

2011-11-29T20:08:00.000-05:00

As a child, I always secretly admired my mother's early 90's style. To me she was the standard of nineties chic with her endless array of sheer black and floral fabrics, sopping wet Jerry curls that, as nineties wore on, morphed into a some sort of fabulous half shaved, half cropped product of 20th century engineering, and her clunky Egyptian earrings. Sometimes I find myself emulating her style and not even knowing it, and then I have to thank God for hipsters; they've made it okay to dress completely out of context.

This weekend I happened upon a little Antique/Thrift shop near the beach and decided to check it out.

Down to a Science: What Men Want

2011-11-18T11:11:00.001-05:00

Long silky hair, generous curves, and a cranial cavity filled with tumbleweeds and glitter. Is that really what men want?

According to Millionare Matchmaker Patti Stanger, it is. Now ladies, before we sharpen our nails and get ready to hurtle Virginia Woolf literature at the screen, Patti also adds (to paraphrase): “Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.”

She’s “just the messenger”. Patti asserts that, while she made a name for herself telling women to shed a few pounds, dye their hair, and to ixnay on the book learnin’, she’s only following biology.

Creepy Sexy Folk

2011-10-27T22:27:00.000-04:00

Why yes, I do have a playlist in my iPod titled "Sexy Halloween". If you liked my "Creepy Sexy Jazz...Rock," choices, then listen to these spooky, atmospheric, yet highly sensual folksy tunes.

Everything by The Pierces makes me think witches, Salem, and combat boots over fishnets. Those girls can have such beautifully dark yet deceptively sweet voices. I literally picture them boiling their unfaithful ex boyfriends over a cauldron while scattering in pink sprinkles when I listen to them. My favorite line of this song is, "hold me till all the prayers that go to heaven get an answer".

I don't know if this next song really counts as Folk. Wikipedia calls it ambient so let's just go with that. I suppose I could have just posted it under "Creepy Sexy Indie" but that would just be redundant.

Creepy Sexy Rock

2011-10-26T23:06:00.003-04:00

There are so many examples of ultra erotic creepy rock, it's only a matter of narrowing them down. But I'm telling you, if you want to take it there, you know, stalking outside your window and watching you sleep whilst touching themselves, you're going to need some Radiohead. Even their name is indecent!

Obviously all their songs involve mey-jah creeping and possibly no pants, but this song is just really slow and subtle about it. The song, "Talk Show Host" is so damn smooth and seductive, it's probably the opposite of all my other rock examples that are saying, "I'm coming to eat you alive." TSH casually creeps outside your bedroom window sipping wine and reading the papers until you tear open it open, bat them out out of its hands and throw yourself at it.

Honestly, listen to this with extreme caution and keep tabs on your pants.

It Was Acceptable In The 90's...

2011-10-25T19:16:00.001-04:00

...to Terrify little children in the name of Disney. Here are a few clips from my favorite Halloween movies I enjoyed growing up with.
Sarah Jessica Parker forever secured a place in my heart when I first saw her as the ditsy witch who flew around on her broomstick chanting for little children to follow her into her garden of enchantment like a total creeper.
And honestly, what kind of neo-emo hipster would I be if I didn't have a major crush on Jack Skellington? And they had the NERVE to advertise this as a Christmas movie and release this around the holidays.
I remember leaving the theater with my mum in TEARS. Little did I know that I would come to regard this strange creepster fest scored by Danny Elfman as a complete musical and visual masterpiece.
My poor little brother, whom I drive to school every morning, can attest; I listen this soundtrack year round!

Ahh the 90's... They just don't make 'em like they used to.

Where Were You On 9/11?

There is so much to be said about September 11, 2001 and so much that surely will be said today as we somberly remember that terrifying day. This isn’t going to be a long post. I just want to take some time to remember where I was ten years ago and how that day still affects me today.

2001 I was a freshman in high school. I remember walking into my 2nd period Spanish class and seeing that the TV was already on. My Spanish teacher was visibly upset and I remember not fully understanding what was wrong or why she was stammering to us that class would be a free period while gluing her eyes to said TV.

Making it Rain on a Rainy Day: New Makeup Review

2011-09-10T01:19:00.004-04:00

Today I spent an inordinate amount of money at Sephora due to that damn “Someone like You” song from Adele. If the radio hangs on to this song as long as they did for “Rolling in the Deep” it’ll be the death of my finances—but I’ll look hella fly.

You ever have one of those days when you suddenly feel like you’re going to die alone? You know, you’re driving down the road thinking about broken promises, cancelled engagements, and that personalized ring tone that never sounds, and then some Adele song comes on. You suddenly want to pull the emergency brakes, pretend your car has a sunroof, and look up the heavens and wail, “WHYYYYYYYY!!!” No? Just me them, I guess.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m praying girl, but this kind of funk was something only a makeover can cure.

So… I just got back from seeing The Help. Awesome movie. I laughed, I cried, I just about lost my mind when Lafayette turned up on the big screen. Literally, I had to fight to urge to stand up, point, and yell, “Hookah”. I really hope that the next time I see him he isn’t playing another fry cook. Just saying…

Slow-mo vampires in back leather alert! Pam, Bill, Eric, and Jess show up outside of Marnie’s ready to kill the witch…Al Qaeda style. Bombs, guns, and I think Jess has a bazooka. Why or how this would work against magic is beyond me. Who came up with this crack scheme? Sookie?

Never Been Kissed: University, Frat Boys, and the Spies Who Love Them

2011-08-31T13:02:00.000-04:00

As many may know, I graduated from Florida State University way back in 2009. And I’ve been a line marching, hum-drum beating, member of the adult society’s fold for quite awhile now. Well…that was before I went to Europe and came back to start living la vie boheme, or, as in we say in South Florida, La Vida Broka. Life has become quite interesting… in a good way. So… keeping with my newfound tradition of doing random things to blog about, I spent last week infiltrating my old University. Tallahassee: a Neverland filled with the Lost Homeboys; devoid of adults, a party city and a football town where pants are always optional and girls with pillow pets are old enough to drink. I was older, wiser, and most of all, I had mastered the art of coquetry.

Episode 9: “Let’s Get Out of Here”

Blogging While I Watch

Crazy times at Bon Temps continue this week. Antonia has lost her Goddamn mind. Her witches know this and now the only way they’ll stand with her is with extreme coercion. She plans to use her new pet vampire, Eric, as a tool to publicly embarrass vampires at their Tolerance press conference.

Meanwhile, my slow forming love for Bill continues to stew as he rolls his eyes at everything that comes out of Alcide’s mouth—because nobody should give credence to a werewolf when he’s wearing a shirt.

Raw Milk: What is it and Why is it So Taboo?

2011-08-14T20:54:00.001-04:00

CounterThink.com

Oh darling, are you still feeding your children pasteurized milk? How passé…

For the past few years, it seems like there has been a growing movement to overhaul our foods. “The food system is corrupt; it’s causing cancer, we’re genetically modifying, caging, and injecting our foods with steroids and antibiotics, and it’s making us sick!” Meanwhile, lately I can’t avoid seeing a commercial, funded by a large corporation, showing me rows of happy cows frolicking in the grass under the Californian sun and farmers in overalls on tracker beams telling me that this is where our food is coming from.

The days of spending hours in the grocery store eyeing each label dubiously and checking for red dye #40, MSG, and hydrogenated oils almost seem like simpler times. Now, the cows are unhappy, the chickens are from concentration camps, the meat’s pumped up with more drugs than Amy Winehouse, and the soy beans are going to make your son develop ovaries—and the corn—don’t even get me started on the corn!

Now the tides have turned to raw milk: the new wonder food that’s being touted to cure everything from autism to cancer.

So what is raw milk and why is it so amazing…or dangerous?

London Rioters Attack the Block

We in the US don’t know WHAT is going on over there or why. Is it because someone got shot, forgot tea time, shortage of PS3’s FIFA game?? Clearly everyone’s been watching Attack the Block and getting ideas.

This kind of anarchy could only be the work of apes--apes from outer space.

True Blood Season 4, Episode 7 Recap

True Blood: 4 Ep. 7: "Cold Grey Light of Dawn"

Blogging while I watch:

The episode begins with a recap and I’m already pissed. Why? Because I had to suffer through 6 episodes of Jason rape, and the only fruit that plot point is going to bear is his 15 or so children in 9 months. Besides that, nothing: no ware panther Jason. This impotent story arc that began with Crystal mid season 3, where we got a glimpse of Jason’s potential for greatness, just fell limply into another whack romance between him and someone he shouldn’t be with. Only this time it’s his best friend’s girl: Jessica. Don’t worry, no chemistry there.

Speaking of no chemistry, we left off with Eric and Sookie ravishing each other on the floor like a couple of bad Soap actors. Passions anyone? No?

Italy: If a coin falls in Rome and no pop-star is there to see it, did it make a sound?

2011-08-05T03:09:00.003-04:00

Last Entry to my Eurotrip Blog:

My tour group and I arrived in Italy a completely unified and bonded family unit, with the knowledge looming over us that Rome was my last stop. And although most of the tour would be continuing on to Eastern Europe, I know that they were devastated about losing me. (Deny it all you want. You know Bratislava wasn’t the same without me!)

With movies like Three Coins in a Fountain, Under the Tuscan Sun, and yes, even the Lizzy Macguire movie on the brain, I was more excited for Italy than anywhere else. Not to mention the historian in me was ready to be let loose onto the streets, like raging bull. The Vatican, the Trevi fountain, and freakin’ Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance—I was traipsing about Italy, looking happier than a “Make a Wish Foundation” winner the entire time.

Of Heartbeak and Men: Shakespeare Had It Right

2011-07-31T17:37:00.005-04:00

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,

Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no mo
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

(William Shakespeare)

How To Throw A Proper English Tea Party

2011-07-25T19:40:00.003-04:00

You were obsessed with William and Kate’s wedding, you watch Masterpiece Theater, and you have to resist the urge to work “quite” and “nary” into casual conversation. Admit it, you secretly wish you were English, don’t you? Join the club. I’m a cardholding member.

This Saturday I decided to throw a Tea Party. An English tea party though, nary a Republican in sight. Mad hats, fancy frocks, and scones abound and a drawing room flowing with classical music and conversation.

Traditional Afternoon tea, or “low tea,” is held around 2-5 in the afternoon. I decided to invite a few friends to dress up and indulge in my delusions of grandeur and it was actually easier than I thought. I don’t why I haven’t done this before. I think I was secretly intimidated by the idea but, surprisingly, planning and hosting a traditional English Tea Party is MUCH easier than it sounds.

Assemble your finest china. I've had this dainty little set in the family for years collecting dust—but, if you don’t have a tea set of your own, fear not; you can find a similar set like this in almost any thrift store.

It's all in the details. Little pieces like this crystal, cream and sugar set (top) add a touch of elegance to the table.

Don’t be afraid to break tradition. My friend brought over this gorgeous Chinese tea set. He brewed his own loose leaf tea while I made a more traditional British tea with cream and sugar.

Get to know traditional tea etiquette and decide whether you want to go by the book or switch up some of the recipes and times. Whatever you do, don’t make tea time a brunch.

My Favourite Things: Cream Scones and Devonshire(Clotted) Cream

2011-07-23T17:18:00.003-04:00

Had a glorious English Tea Party today. Decided to share a traditional British recipe and some prep pics. I used the recipes for Cream Scones and Clotted (Devonshire) Cream here, and they turned out fabulous. Everyone was raving about the cream—and the smell baking these scones filled my house with—heaven! My house smells distinctly like shortbread cookies, vanilla, and butter. The clotted cream with scones are definitely the most indulgently fattening things I've ever made in my life and for the taste, it's worth it. The cool clotted cream complemented the scones and jam deliciously. You’ll want to glob it onto everything. Enjoy the pictures.

New Kanye

2011-07-21T01:45:00.001-04:00

Otis feat. Otis Redding by watchthethrone

I admit it: I love Kanye West more than a swag-less orchestra dork should. I don’t know what it is. Kanye’s always been in my musical periphery, but it wasn’t until his album, 808s & Heartbreaks, that I really ever paused to appreciate his fast and loose flow and his amazing production abilities. The man is a genius and I love him. I love him more than a whole plate of fish sticks in my mouth.

Anyway, here’s his first single, "Otis", from his upcoming collaborative album with Jay-Z: Watch the Throne. I like it; it’s smooth, it’s “summuh”, and it makes me want to throw on a pair of aviators and start sliding and jiving across the floor like the smooth villain from Charlie’s Angels.

I've been mesmerized by this dress ever since Vampire Pam showcased it in True Blood Episode 2. It's an 80's power club dress and I'm in love with it! Other celebs have been spotted wearing this Brian Lichtenberg creation, but Pam takes the cake, hands down. The hair, the matte red lips, and the deathly scowl = FIYA! I want to snatch the whole ensemble right off the screen! Actually, if I had screen snatching powers, her boss, Eric Northman, would be in my living room right now—but that's neither here nor there.

The episode opens up with Jason Stackhouse in a sweaty heap, writhing against the constraints of the rope tying his arms and legs to a stranger’s bed. Pretty much business as usual for Jason but, oh look, the inbred kids from Hotshot are there and one of them, Timbo, is licking his head wound. How nice…

Manhattan in Mourning

2011-07-03T21:20:00.005-04:00

NYC, what can I say that hasn’t already been written about, sung about? I could hyperbole myself to death just attempting to convey just one grain of this wily pastiche of grit, dirt, glass, and brick, rich and poor. So I’ll just break into song: “NYC, what is it about you? You’re big. You’re tough. You’re rough!”

Last weekend I discovered that my aunt, who I’ve never actually met but if I had, would have loved inexplicably, had died of cancer. There I was, feet still died with grapes from the vineyard, learning that I was to fly to New York, post haste.

I’ve been over it and around it, but I’ve never actually been to Manhattan. But now was my chance to finally go! I was in mourning but… really how long can someone stay in mourning when they’re surrounded by the city lights, sipping coffee at Bryant Park, and eating Pizza on Broadway?

My Summah Jam

2011-07-01T13:57:00.000-04:00

Say it with me guys; Summah. Summer, or as my favorite comedian Howard Kremer would call it, summah, is here. "You've gotta douse yourself in it. You've gotta get lousy with summah." Kremer says the most important thing you need to have a summah is a summah gum. I've chosen Extra mint chocolate chip as my summah gum, and now I have my summah jam: Nadia Oh’s, M.I.A.-esq, ode to Kate Middleton. Listen to “Taking Over the Dance Floor” above, chew your summah gum, and immerse yourself fully in summah.

Nadia Oh is one GLORIOUS robot

2011-07-01T00:06:00.004-04:00

You think I know better than to love Nadia Oh? I play violin, drink red wine, and croon out show tunes in the shower. Should I know better?

I first discovered Nadia Oh, Space Cowboy’s android, on So You Think You Can Dance, like everyone else. Her song, “Hot like Wow” was playing and I couldn’t pay attention to any of the dancers. I’ve never heard anything like it. The most stereotypical Arabic beats were going fast and hard while this mechanical voice droned over the track.

Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards Harvest Festival

Here, in sunny Florida, we grow oranges—that’s about it. Trust me, if anyone could call themselves an expert on Florida agriculture it should me moi, who has traversed the entire length of the state about a billion times. How, by the billionth and 1 commute from FSU to south Florida, I never noticed vineyards among those endless rows of orange trees, is beyond me.

French Riviera Street Style

2011-06-18T22:22:00.003-04:00

Dolled up for a night at one cool European nightclub in the French Riviera and feeling like a superstar

How to dress for touring the streets of Europe, you ask?

Day n’ Night in Nice, France and Monte Carlo

Night: BodyCon Dress from Arden B

Day: Pant: Express

The French Riviera: Nice and Monte Carlo (The day I didn’t meet Robert Pattinson)

2011-06-14T22:26:00.005-04:00

The last trailer I saw before I left the states was for Monte Carlo, starring Selena Gomez and Blair from Gossip Girl. Fortunately, it didn’t come out yet, so I didn’t have an American movie to completely over hype my expectations of the Cote d’azure.

We stayed in Nice, an hour away from Cannes during the Cannes film festival. It was a pretty stunning beach city. The terra cotta roofed building are stacked high into the cliffs, overlooking the pebbled beaches and clear blue water. The buildings are colorful coral and white stone, and the streets are lined with palm trees. The best thing to do was to sit outside, enjoying white wine and eating seafood.

Living in a Hipster’s Paradise (Miami Art Walk and a brief interview with Rocky Grimes)

2011-06-12T19:18:00.002-04:00

Since returning to the US, my new mission has been to appreciate all the art and culture available to me, here in South Florida. So, yesterday, a couple of girlfriends and I decided to check out the art scene in the Wynwood Art District, down in Miami.

The Wynwood Art Walk consists of several blocks of galleries, exhibiting various artists’ collections, all the while ladling out mixed drinks and electro beats. Yeah, it’s basically a hipster’s paradise. If the free drinks and music inside the galleries aren’t enough, there are dozens of food and liquor trucks outside, serving treats that should certainly be illegal. Against my better judgment, I had 3 deep fried cupcakes and 1 buttered hamburger. I’m not sure why anyone would slather butter on a hamburger or charge 8 dollars for it, but may I tell you, it was worth every cent and calorie. So were the cupcakes. They sell them in 3’s with a choice of vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet, and for investigative purposes, I was forced to sample all three. How I suffer for my blog!

The art exhibits were a mixed bag depending on what you like: photography, pop-art, and classic oil on canvas. Some galleries were exhibiting “art” I like to call, “pretentious, self indulgent, Banksy-wannabe, hipster, crap”. You know what I mean; we all saw “Exit through the Gift Shop”. Mr. Brainwash --remember him? Picture walking through galleries of that recycled, uninspired, pop-art, nonsense –And it wasn’t glorious nonsense either! Sorry, Warhol enthusiasts.

BUT, if that’s your thing, I found that one of these exhibits was a cut above the rest. Rocky Grimes’ exhibit, I absolutely loved. I’m not an art critic, but I’d like to think I know art from crap when I see it. His art was definitely pop-art without the pop. His prints are colorful combinations of different photo cutouts, combined with splashes of neon, and assembled together to convey meaning.

So, of course, I whipped out my notebook and went to tell Mr. Grimes exactly what I thought, and he was so kind as to let me quiz him for a sec. It went a little like this:

Switzerland is like the Garden of Eden with Chocolate… and Psychos.

2011-06-08T16:50:00.005-04:00

I’m not a nature girl; I don’t like dirt, grass, creatures, or water that’s not in a bottle. So when we arrived in the little region of Lauterbrunnen, tucked away in the picturesque Swiss Alps, my response was, “Yeah whatever. Can we go back to Paris?”

But I got over that fast. With it’s pointy roofed, Hansel and Gretel, houses, colorful tulips, and cows grazing around with bells around their necks like happy cows in California don’t know what they’re talking about, all set against a backdrop of massive snow capped alps, Switzerland was like stepping into a fairytale. I wanted to put on a white gown and go running through the fields of flowers singing, “The hills are alive with the sound of music.” Context be damned!

Date Rape and Stolen Parts

2011-06-08T02:21:00.003-04:00

Today I accompanied my friend to the mechanic to get her car tuned up and somehow ended up on a strange adventure that culminated with our mechanic revealing to us that he was a victim of date rape.

Too Soon?

2011-05-31T17:14:00.001-04:00

Listen and enjoy. This song is HI-LARIOUS.

Paris! Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves --and the European sex ring

2011-05-31T01:32:00.003-04:00

Paris! *Sighs wistfully*

I’m not boy crazy, I’m American. I’ve been raised by American cinema, constantly telling me that if I travel abroad, I’ll fall into the arms of a prince, an eccentric artist, or an Italian pop-star. I blame Disney, really --and the Olsen Twins.

Our tour mostly consisted of Aussies who didn’t understand this sensibility, but fortunately, there were 2 other American girls on our tour, just as moon-eyed over Paris as I was.

My first night in Paris was perhaps the most terrifying, and yet the most magical night of the trip. How could a night than began with almost getting traded into a sex ring end with champagne and romantic kisses on the Champs Elysees?

London: “Where is London Bridge?" "We’re ON London Bridge.”

2011-05-30T23:09:00.005-04:00

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted one thing: to travel to Europe. I don’t know why, but I’ve always been drawn to movies and literature set abroad and I’ve always fantasized about strolling down the rues of Paris and sipping wine under the Tuscan sun. When I grew up I was drawn to its history, culture and art.

Finally, I decided to do something about it. I worked hard, saved, and just booked it. No one else could go with me at the time and since I’ve seen Hostel 1 and 2 as well as Taken, I wasn’t gong to backpack through Europe alone. I decided on a tour group that catered to young 20/30somethings.

The Mission: 5 countries in 2 weeks. London, Paris, Lauterbrunnen (Switzerland), the French Riviera: Nice and Monaco, and Italy.

The Agency: Topdeck “Western Spirit” tour.

Artillery: Passport, about 1000 Euro spending money, and a Global SimCard

Parisian Street Style

2011-05-29T21:59:00.008-04:00
